Time:The Kalief Browder Story

Came across this docuseries on Netflix the other night and watched all episodes in three nights. Incredible story of a 16 year black kid from the Bronx who spent 3 years in Rikers Island most of it in solitary confinement without ever coming to trial for a crime he probably didn't commit...

The treatment he got was incredible and that it could happen in modern day In any civilized country is jawdropping.

An article about him, well worth a watch.

Born mucky, life on the farm on Quest. Interesting look at 3 farmers in England. The size of their fields and using drones to develop pesticide stratagies.

Father & son Sansoucie were two pricks. The da in particular.

Those were specifically the two I was thinking of, along with Odin Lloyd's semi-pro teammate.

Now he was a complete tool

Ray Donovan cancelled, would have thought it would have been popular enough. Really enjoyed it.

Serious! I'm only about 4 into the latest series. Might not bother if there isn't gonna be a proper conclusion.

I had read weeks ago that the next season would be the last, raging. One of the few shows I have watched from the start weekly, and the latest season was brilliant. Flipping raging!!!!

Started Armando Iannucci's new show Avenue 5 and I'm 3 episodes in. . . not great I would have to say I don't find it anywhere near as good as his other stuff!

Started The Stranger on Netflix. Very good so far.

Anyone seen Godfather of Harlem. Missed the conclusion the other night but it doesn't seem to be on RTE player? Why is this. Great show and I'm going to miss the conclusion

I saw an ad tonight for the concluding episodes on rte, not sure when they're being broadcast though - check the schedule for the next few days

Worth watching?

Oh I thought they were on Tuesday night past there. Maybe this isn't the case

All the ingredients are there but for some reason it doesn't taste right.

The White House Farm show is def an interesting watch on ITV. I'm not old enough to have remembered this case in the news at the time so it's all a bit new to me. Horrible what went on there.

Stephen Graham with a Welsh accent in this one.
